This Cabernet Franc cuvée is vinified traditionally and matured in old Alsace foudre tuns. The result is a powerful wine with fairly pronounced élevage aromas (vanilla, tobacco, etc.). An archetypal Argentinian classic which requires time to soften and develop its full potential. To be enjoyed with... a fine cut of Argentine meat, of course!

Mendoza El Enemigo Carbernet Franc serve at a temperature of 16°C. It will pair perfectly with the following dishes: Gratin de champignons, Poularde à l'angevine, Rôti de porc aux pruneaux.
